49ers Sign Darryl Johnson
2 years agoThe San Francisco 49ers signed free-agent defensive end Darryl Johnson to an undisclosed deal on Tuesday. Johnson, 26, was drafted in the seventh round by the Buffalo Bills in 2019 and has also spent time with the Carolina Panthers and Seattle Seahawks. He was in training camp with Carolina last year, which means he's familiar to 49ers defensive coordinator Steve Wilks, who was the interim head coach for the Panthers after Matt Rhule was fired in 2022. In a corresponding move, the team waived wide receiver Shae Wyatt, an undrafted rookie out of Tulane. In four years in the NFL, Johnson has racked up only 34 tackles (23 solo), two sacks, six tackles for loss and five QB hits in 38 games (one start). He's played only seven games in the last two seasons with Carolina and Seattle.
